TL;DR

JetBlue has become the first airline to partner with Amazon’s Project Kuiper, aiming to equip its Fly‑Fi system with blazing-fast LEO satellite internet starting in 2027.

Amazon’s satellite rollout is well underway with over 100 deployed and more launches planned.

Analysts note realistic operational challenges, certification and installation aren’t trivial, but this marks a bold leap in taking inflight Wi‑Fi to the next level.

The stage is flooded with buzzwords, the spotlight’s on vaporware and the standing ovation is penciled in for 2027.
